Tom Cruise will always be...Tom Cruise. He always plays the same role the same way. He isn't an actor; he's a movie star.

When I think Johnny Depp, I think two things: first is the case with Amber Heard, which my perspective of is just hogwash full of memes, and the second is Pirates of the Caribbean. Man, I can't imagine anyone else as Jack Sparrow himself. Those are the only two things I associate with him.

This is a pretty predictable answer based on my flag, but:

Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Bob Peck, Richard Attenborough, Wayne Knight, and practically everyone else in Jurassic Park will always be inseparable from that movie for me. Well, maybe not Samuel L. Jackson, but still memorable for being in it.

Oh, also Patrick Stewart, George Takei, and Leonard Nimoy. If I ever see them in anything else I always think "How is so-and-so in (insert situation)?"

Good for you. But this thread is about actors who will always be associated with an iconic role that they've played.

Ewan McGregor.

I watch a movie or tv show, I see him in it, I go "Oh, what's Obi-Wan doing there?!" and then I chuckle to myself and settle in to enjoy the movie.

Jim Rash as Dean Pelton. I will literally never see him as anything else, and while this is true for many of the Community folks, it is especially true for him.

Topher Grace as Eric Forman. I haven’t even seen more than maybe a season of That 70’s Show but it’s so iconically him that seeing him in his little early 2000s “breakout” era is insanely off putting.

Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson in AOS. The most perfect casting I swear.

Jared Leto as Morbius. That sounds like a joke but in full seriousness it is impossible to take the man seriously in anything anymore. That movie was so iconically bad, it ruined my image of him forever.

I like this pitch for sophistication that lacks the sophistication to understand the discussion.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.
